I have no doubt that Islam is the enemy of Western Civilization. But we coddle and appease SA because the economy of the West requires their oil to survive in its present form.

Are we prepared to go back to a 19th Century economy in the West? Harly anyone in the West is willing to do that. We are addicted to the wealth generated by an oil-based economy.

I disagree. We get 22% of our oil from mexico and Canada. Nine percent from the ragheads in SA. 8% from Venezuela, 7% from Nigeria, 4% from Iraq, and 8% from other nations. If we would start developing/harvesting domestic reserves we could easily tell SA to stuff it.
